The further claim is made that very few independent tests relating to GM food safety are done. This conventional 'wisdom' is wrong. The modern scientific literature shows that these commonly held opinions are merely myths.

Did you know there are over 200 synthetic chemicals found in the cord blood of newborns, influences of civilized society with unknown effects that our children are exposed to even before they are born?

Pondering the number of foods, chemicals, products and other environmental influences that are in our children's world that weren't even around thirty, fifty, or a hundred years ago is mind-boggling. I know that testing products on children is kind of a no-no and not done as often as animal tests or adult human testing, so I assumed that there were likely no studies on the safety of many "food products" that children regularly consume. I couldn't wait to start researching the idea.

Eggs have a bad reputation, but the newest scientific research finds no connection between eggs and high cholesterol or heart disease. In fact, eggs may just be the perfect food.

Many Americans were raised on the theory that eggs were loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol, and that eating them was a surefire way to promote coronary heart disease. That couldn't be further from the truth, though. When Wake Forest University researchers reviewed some of the top scientific studies, they found no link between eating eggs and heart disease.

Among the ostensibly "non-essential" services on hold during the government shutdown is the Food and Drug Administration's food inspection program. As many as 80 food production facilities each day may be going uninspected.

Normally, according to Quartz, the FDA blocks imports from tens of thousands of facilities with records of violations.
